    Messin With Mastro De Paja

    So I got this $45 Mastro de Paja pipe from Smoking Pipes. com a couple of weeks ago, and as I looked at the current production of these, it seems that some of these pipes have the bowl top completely rusticated, (like mine), and others are half rusticated with a smooth inside edge to the...

    Got a New Artisanal Pipe, And It's Mine! It's All Mine, You Hear!

    I decided to support one of our forum members who is a beginning pipe maker. I'm talking about Chris (shikano53) whom you've seen posting his pipes here. I think he comes up with some interesting designs that are close to classic, but have a little twist to them. When I saw this bent apple pipe...

    Man, I Feel Old Now... Oldest Granddaughter Off to College.

    Well this shouldn't be a surprise to me, as I am a great grandfather on my wife's side, but my oldest daughter and her husband are seeing their oldest daughter off to college in a little while. She has a sports scholarship, and wants to study sports medicine. Obviously she has first hand...

    My First His and Hers Cased Pipe Set - Pics

    I've always been intrigued by cased pipe sets, especially older ones. Thanks to Marty Pulvers for giving me a great price on this set that I found on his site. I have never owned a Weber pipe before, but my wife liked the looks of this set, plus I've never heard bad things about Weber pipes...

    Thanks To Dave (Shaintiques) - Trying Some Savinelli 140 Anniversary Blend

    Dave offered some great prices on some sealed tins of various tobaccos here recently. I took advantage of a few of them and decided to open a tin of Savinelli's 140 Anniversary blend. God knows, I don't need another open blend to jar up, but this just sounded so interesting. I've never had a...

    Has Anyone Tried One of These?

    I came across these Mastro de Paja Classic pipes while perusing SPC during their 10% off sale a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't believe they were only $45.00! ($40.00 and change with the sale). I was going to buy some tobacco, but I really wanted to see what $45 would get you, so I ordered one...

    My First Real Nose Warmer, From an Unexpected Maker - Pics

    I'm not a big fan of nose warmer pipes, but once in a while I'll get a smaller pipe and see how I like it. This is my first pipe that measures 4 in. in length. I saw this pipe on eBay, and thought it was really unusual for this maker, a Dr. Grabow! I just recently bought a huge 9 in. pipe that...

    HUGE! Old KB&B Billiard Pipe - How Old Is It? (pic heavy)

    I came across this big pipe on eBay and it looked interesting. The seller said it was 9" long! Somehow I didn't think an old KB&B could be that big, but for $14.99 with free shipping I took a chance. Well, it was indeed that big and it looks rather old too. I believe it pre-dates the Kaywoodie...

    Revamped an Orange Cob - pics

    About 2 years ago I bought an orange colored Diplomat 5th Avenue custom cob off of eBay, and posted it here. I got some folks pointing and laughing, but I'm not sure they're here anymore. Never mind. It was, I agree a rather gaudy cob, but it had a cool acrylic stem on it, and I kinda liked it...

    A Good St. Patricks Day Food, Drink, and Smoke

    For some reason my wife and I had a better than usual St. Patricks day. We both have some Irish blood in our lines, I've got a maternal grandmother that was a Kennedy, and my wife's mother was a McMullen. We never make a big deal out of it, but this year somehow we ended up with one of the best...

    Country Squire - BriarWorks Trunk Show 2017 - Pics

    My wife and I were lucky enough to get to this show because it was in the daytime. (yeah, old people don't like to drive at night) We had a great time and got to meet lots of new pipe smoking friends, along with Pete Provost who along with his wife put up a nice selection of pipes to choose...

    Orley's Wife Gets a New Pipe, and Has Something to Say! PICS

    I thought this might be the time for my wife to post something, but she'd rather I do it for her. I guess she thinks I'll do a better job of it as she doesn't like to post things on the internet. Oh well, so here goes. I showed a pic of a Dunhill LC to her some time ago and she really liked the...

    Ben Wade Prominence? (pics)

    I picked up this Ben Wade Prominence a while back, and just got around to cleaning it up. I don't like freehand pipes all that much, but this one looked a bit more different than the usual shapes. I couldn't resist picking it up as it was priced quite cheap, but I'm not familiar with this series...

    Ser Jacopo Question - With Pics

    I just picked up an older Ser Jacopo pipe, and the seller listed it as a ivory dot, saying it was lower quality pipe in their early days. Pipehil. calls them grey dots and says they were bottom of the range pipes. I've never heard of this in all the reading I've done on them. I have read that...

    My Wife and I Do the IPSD 2017 Very Low Key

    Well, I tried to order some tobacco from PC with no success, but hey I probably have enough tobacco already. So my wife and I loaded up some tasty baccy in a couple of our favorite pipes. She had her favorite 30 yo Stanwell, and I had my Viggo Nielson gifted to me by the old Cajun, and along...

    Anyone Recently Discover a New Blend That They Absolutely Love?

    Recently I've discovered two new to me blends that I will be ordering more of for sure. I don't often try a new blend and find I like it so much after smoking it for a couple of weeks or so. I may come back to a new blend from time to time, but these two I can't help smoking one or the other...

    Oboy... Found a a New Rum, This May Be a Drunk Post....

    My wife and I went out to buy a new garbage disposal, and over the stove microwave, both of which quit in the last week. Oh yeah, and our wifi router quit too. So with so many problems all in the same week, we drove 80mi. to Home Depot to get a microwave and disposal. We had pretty good success...

    Sherlock Holmes Pipes?

    Most of us I would say are familiar with Sherlock and his pipes, both the ones in the books and the ones on screen. I've recently been interested in the Peterson collection of Sherlock pipes in all their variations. While thinking about them (I know, dangerous thing for me to do), I got to...

    WWII Era Dr. Grabow Re-Done - Tough One...

    I got this old Dr. Grabow about a week ago, and thanks to some forum members here, especially ejames, found that it was a WWII era pipe. It's made of Mt. Laurel and has a push stem rather than the typical metal screw in stem. It was also painted with a tinted lacquer to hide? change the woods...

    Dr. Grabow Wartime Pipe? Pic Heavy

    I came across this Dr. Grabow pipe that looked much different than any I had seen before. While not looking exactly good, it had different wood and features that I'd not seen. I haven't restored it yet, and not sure I will if it has more historical worth as is. Why do I think it's a WWII era...
